MultiMiner: Any Miner, Any Where, on Any Device (Free, Open Source, Cross Platform)

[Raptor2213]

Good to know that it's not just me.
Maybe it's a test to see how many of us are active on the forum?

I thought I read somewhere that MM donates 2% to itself.  If that's the case, it's pool has likely died on us, and it wasn't programmed to deal with it - which would make sense, because then we could just block it from connecting.

something i noticed also it not picking the usb stuff up on start up like it use too and that when the error appears.....

It happens on all versions.  Probably unrelated.

[danboid]

I logged into our mining server today and MM was closed. I had been running 2.3.5 so I updated to 2.4.0 but it didn't help - I got this same error message and MM does not load. I tried moving ~/.config/MultiMiner to try and reset it but still no go! MM will not open now!

Code:

Could not set X locale modifiers

This is when running under Debian Jessie w/ mono 3.x, btw

Anyways, would love to help in any way, I can dedicate a couple miners to test whatever you need, just pm me.

Thanks for the offer, I'll let you know. That may actually be helpful as it currently takes me a while of solo mining with my GPUs against the Litecoin TestNet in order to verify both accepts and rejects.

That said I was able to reproduce the issue this past weekend and discussed it quite a bit with Luke. He has some ideas for addressing it but nothing done so far.

He did manage to fix the issue with the "effective" hashrate in bfgminer (the third one) being wrong for Scrypt. You can check it out in a daily build here:

http://luke.dashjr.org/tmp/code/webisect/webisect.php?dobuild=bfgminer

Again, you never cease to amaze. For now my miners are all directed back to Litecoin pool mining, since I didn't have any luck with getting over that bug, and CGminer standalone wasn't where I wanted to go for these. I'm still confused why nobody else reported issues with solo mining, in fact one person said it worked fine for them, but I know I have a few more miners than average, so I solo more on coins.

I'll update BFGMiner and multi miner on my rigs today.

[atomicchaos]

It's definitely server side, since we're all seeing it. My rigs are still mining, but they all have the error popped up, I'm just leaving them as-is until the box gets rebooted, or fixed.

[Operatr]

I am unable to mine with the new version, with each "start" the error appears. I updated .net but it had no effect.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

[cad_cdn]

also getting same error, its very pesky!
hardware doesn't appear on initial MM load, you have to scan hardware to get it to appear.

MM runs after that, however the warning appears persistently.

Seems to have happened after the last updates. I run 3 different machines, Win 764bit, Win 8 32bit, and even an older XP machine all exhibited the same .net 4.5 error.
 

thx

[nwoolls]

Guys - if you are having errors switch to the CoinWarz API under Settings. CoinChoose.com is having (new) issues. Thanks!

Update:

And there's your error folks, go to:

http://www.coinchoose.com/api.php

You'll see:

Code:

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '(lastUpdated, @@session.time_zone, '+00:00') AS lastupdated_utc FROM currency WH' at line 1

CoinChoose.com's API is down. Use CoinWarz.com for now and complain in this thread:

If its the CoinChoose.com prob thats stopping me opening MM, can I switch to CoinWarz API with a command line argument or maybe by editing one of the config files? Changing it from the settings menu isn't an option as I don't get that far.

If its the CoinChoose.com prob thats stopping me opening MM, can I switch to CoinWarz API with a command line argument or maybe by editing one of the config files? Changing it from the settings menu isn't an option as I don't get that far.

If saying error and close or continue click on continue then go into settings and change app to use coinwarz click on close multiminer down restart ｀it


For nwoolls

Any chance of adding cryptsy api like coinwarz and choosecoin ?

Cryptsy does not provide profitability information.

If you are unable to change this in the application you can edit the ApplicationConfiguration.xml file instead found in %appdata%\MultiMiner. Set UseCoinWarzApi to true.

My pleasure - hopefully CoinChoose will fix their API soon. That was a lot of emails to wake up to!

Could we add failover in a future update?

Not possible as the CoinWarz API requires an API key.

I'd bug CoinChoose.com to add failover support

It's not impossible.  You'd just have to re-write the UI to support it.  I realize that it's a decent amount if work though.  It could be done like the coin pool info, for example.

The coin choose site goes down all the time.  I'm not at all surprised.  They need better hosting.

Care to elaborate? The app cannot fail-over to CoinWarz as the user would have to be present to enter their CoinWarz API key.

Additionally there is already a boat-load of error handling in-place for CoinChoose.com, but having it return a SQL error instead of JSON was not one of them
